 which have taken place recently in this district, and the steady inquiry for. prop. critics of acknowledged value. There are already more than five hundred men en- ployed by the mines in this immediate vicinity, and we venture to predict that before the year rolls round there will be double that number. All indications poiat to this as not extravagant asser- tion. Merchants are beginning to feel the effects of the reaction in an increased volume of business, and on every hand a better feeling exists. If Tombstone is not on the eve of boom, she is experi- enciag something very nearly akin to it.

They can come alive by express at my expense (Fort Wingate, N. M.) With regard to the question as ts whether the bite of the lizard is poison ous or not, Dr. Schufeldt is prepared tc answer it very decidedly in in the affirm ative. While stationed in Washington some time since, he came near losing hi. | life from the effects of the bite of tn, Gila monster. Nothing but prompt med ical attendance saved him.

Progress of the Mineral Belt Railroat

Progress of the Mineral Belt Railroad.
 E. Veach, who left Flagstaff on the 18th ultimo, reports work on the A. M. B. road progressing satisfactorily. At that date B miles of track was laid and operated and IF additional miles graded, ready for ties and rails, which were upon the gronnd ready to be placed. Some heavy work is being encountered in the construction, many of the rock cuts aver aging from five to eight feet, and they are numerous. The onlyplace of the graded route which is not of that difficult char acter is from the head of the Mormon Lake (dry) to its foot-ten or twelve miles-which was made ready for the rail simply by means of scraper. The bed of the lake, the entire distance, averages about eighteen inches in height. It is contemplated to build a depot at the head of the lake where there is spring which gives strong flow of perennial water.
 The grading is now being done on the west end of the lake, into the canyon, the commencement of the detour which was surveyed to avoid the heavy work of the Rim Rock. MT. Veach also represents the work as being energetically pushed No one who desires employment is de- nied. He is strong in his commendation of the way in which the men are fed everything necessary to keep tte labor CTS in good humor is provided, nothing is wanted that is desired. He report: three saw mills on the way, one for Flag staff, one twelve miles this side of Nor mon Lake, ffty-six miles from Flagstaff and another for some other point on tn. line ofthe road, and still room for many more, and timber supply that it will re quire many years to exhaust.

The Gila Monster.

Dr. Schufeldt, U. s. A., who is an authority on the subject of the Gila Mor- ster, says in a private letter to an of- fcer who is stationed at Whipple Bar racks:
 I. Its (the Gila Monster) propername is Heloderma Suspectum.
 2. It occurs over the entire Sonoran region and Northern Mexico. where to the southward its place is taken by H. Horridum.
 3. It is true lizard.
 4. Its poison is quite similar to that of the rattlesnake (Crotalus.)
 5. It has poison gland and grooved canine teeth. The teeth are figured in

Those who are acquainted with the early history of the EPITAPH are well aware of the fact that it was never con- trolled by clique or ring. It was al- ways outspoken and on the side of the people, and so it is today under its pres ent management. It has the courage of its convictions, and will not hesitate to applaud the right or condemn the wrong. It makes no pretense of being better morally then it's fellows, but as a means of success it chooses to adopt that policy. It panders to no prejudice, but chooses rather to oppose prejudice. People like such paper and patronize it.

Our contemporary, which is constantly boasting of its nose for news, has neglected to record the horrible death of son of one of the most prominent citizens of our county, Roadmaster Mcfarland, which occurred on the 24th of last month, the full par ticulars of which were published in the EPIrAPH at the time. This is mentioned as a counter-irritant to contemptiable little fling wherein the EPITAPH is charged with failure to publish the details of the murder of Nicholas Mccormick. If our astute critic will examine the EPI. TArH of the sd inst. he will find quite as comprehensive an account of the murder as has yet been published. You will have to try again, sonny.

Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any de- rangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually prescribed.
